| Hi Daryl,
Thanks- glad you like them,
As I said I don't really play piano (I'm a guitarist) and I inherited one of the pianos, the other I won on ebay after putting a $10 bid in for a friend showing them how to use ebay. No one else put a bid in so I ended up winning it- was quite accidental.
I retuned it for want of something else to do with it. I split the keyboard in two- tuned 24 divisions to the octave on the top stings and 18 on the low strings. I did it myself, so it isn't precise- I was just dicking around really.
When I have a moment I will try to find some audio files of the pre processed playing- it won't be very flash, which is probably why I process it so heavily. Defining myself by my limitations, I guess.
I'd like to see someone who can really play have a go at my piano- it could we wonderful, or perhaps not.
Anyway, back to Halo 3. :-)

But for my taste, very cool tracks...it is pretty hard to pick out the piano here. I'm curious about the micro-tuned sounds you're describing.
Daryl Shawn www.swanwelder.com www.chinapaintingmusic.com One is a regularly tuned piano, the other is a 'prepared piano' that I've tuned microtonally (which pissed my wife of initially, she's a traditionalist).
